The article discusses the use of command-line tools dmidecode and lspci in Fedora Linux for extracting detailed hardware information. dmidecode decodes the system's DMI table, providing insights into BIOS, processor, memory, and other hardware components. It allows users to retrieve specific information by defining a type. For example, querying type 0 retrieves BIOS details. On the other hand, lspci lists PCI devices, including network cards and graphics cards, without requiring extended privileges. Users can obtain detailed information about specific devices using options like -v or -k. These tools are valuable for troubleshooting, upgrading, or understanding system configurations. The article emphasizes the simplicity and effectiveness of dmidecode and lspci in managing Linux environments.
